when I do,
$ sudo yum install preupgrade
Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/releases/10/Everything/i386/os/repodata/repomd.xml: [Errno 14] HTTP Error 404: Not Found
Trying other mirror.
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again 

So again the obsolete http is culprit, as seen below.

>>Edit the files:
 
>>	/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora.repo
>>	/etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-updates.repo

Is it safe???

any ways, I'll back up the files and try it out.

>>But, these files should be a part of your fedora-release rpm....
>>What is the exact version of the fedora-release RPM that you have installed?

I installed,
F10 realese RPM
fedora-release-10-1.narch.rpm
fedora-release-notes-10.0.1.noarch.rpm
acc to documentation, now I have to 
$yum upgrade
which does not work, as show up.
 
Thank you for helping,
